Thread Name: Dylan picked up for street walking (Aug 2009)
Subject: RE: Dylan picked up for street walking
Given the fact that the overwhelming majority of police officers in the United States are White, I wrote that my assumption is that the police officer in that [Bob Dylan] case is White.
Therefore my assumption is more likely to be right than wrong. Of course, a police officer's race or ethnicity (using the the United States definition of ethnicity meaning "Latino") should not matter. But sometimes it does.

gnu, I'm not sure what you are referring to when you wrote that I now agree that you are correct.
I'm sorry if you're not feeling well. I'm not sure what a "Satanic" nerve is. I could make a racial joke, but I'll refrain from doing so.
